My first thought is "Who the hell is Gregory Porter?" Never heard of him and judging from these reactions, I think it's best I never hear him!

I've heard some of his material over the past few years and whilst it's not particularly my taste, the guy obviously has talent. However, after having to watch a snippet of his 'Heavy' performance via the Daily Express website (which is in itself an insult to common decency) his version is quite simply hideous. Even The Osmonds managed a better cover!

.....not to our taste, but in his defence, he was ,I think,paying homage to the Donny Hathaway version, given to him by his own brother, who passed away, apparently. Rips away from our fave, but more Gospel maybe, and the version he knew.....😳😉
